Predestination (2014)
What if God is our Final Destination and we are the predestination
Normally I had hate to use religious context and quotes to review a movie but the ideology of this movie is based upon the very popular beliefs of Christianity.The moral this movie leads us to is a thought of a popular beliefs in Christianity by' Augustine of Hippo who argued that since the fall all humanity is in self-imposed bondage to sin. All people are inescapably predisposed to evil prior to any actual choice, and unable to not sin.Free will is not taken away in the sense of the ability to choose between alternatives, but people are unable to make these choices in service to God rather than self. Thomas Aquinas also taught that people are not able to avoid sin after the fall, and that this entailed a loss of original righteousness or sinlessness, as well as concupiscence or selfish desire.'-Wikipedia(source uncredited, Topic:Total Depravity). If I tell you that imagine yourself at point A, where your life is going as per the set of designs that you choose and were not forcibly made to choose, and at that very juncture I make you fall, its an endless cycle, a cycle of depravity and inevitability where we are made to run towards the very designs of choices of someone else but not ourselves. We then derive at the belief that what if God is actually 'our' final destination that they don't lie when they say we are all part of God and in order to change our own destiny God made Earth and choose not to give knowledge to man so that he doesn't falls in depravity at the final destination but when he does falls into depravity by choice, God leaves the side of humans because he already knows the outcome at that point. This would also suggest that there is a point A in the plot because in order for the predestination to take place, John/Jane Doe must be born first at one point, only after which can the cycle be made to repeat, which explains the work of Evil interfering with God's ultimate plan. The movie is simply trying to tell us that,'We have a choice in it, while we don't have a choice in it'
The grasp of inevitability as we say is felt at an ever more heightened level when we see this movie.This movie was actually under appreciated and in my eyes is a really great work during the year 2014 and deserves a big round of applause.
Some people may criticize that belief because it is true, that we need for the belief of the inevitable cycle to set its course at a particular time somewhere from a given reality, which is why I mentioned point 'A', the point of all origin where the choice is actually not lost but where the conspirators of inevitability choose to interfere and disrupt the cycle to pre-destine it in order to change the design.
There is a bit of predictability in the movie but it is a real amazing twist which you don't really expect to happen in real life but which is happening just like the movie itself.
The work in the script of this movie and directing and acting is astonishingly tremendous, it can neither be said to be a scientifically flawed adaptation nor religiously incorrect, because there is always 'that doubt'.
The characters could have been more daunting and capturing but its actually very difficult to make it so because the essence of this movie directs the idea directly into your head. 'Like you already have known it, and you already have been here'.
I don't think the unfolding of the plot in this movie wouldn't leave people a little disappointed, but when they match the actual 'belief' and compare it with their day-to-day life they will feel widely attached to the message of this movie 'Inevitability'.
You are in for it :D
Transcendence (2014)
Highly deserving for watch and a better rating
Nowadays we see childish sci-fi and unoriginal copied content from comic scripts in sci-fi genre which only represent destruction and chaos, advancements which are only pictured with warfare in it and over exaggerated dialogues and repeated scripts.
I was honestly very unsure to watch this movie at first due to the negative criticisms the movie received, but then when I watched the movie I thought 'what type of idiotic nonsense have the critics done by rating this movie down so badly and writing stupid stuff about it'. Not many movies represent the simplicity this movie has presented in it while featuring sci-fi.
The movie makes you wonder what direction exactly is the human race moving its advancements towards.It seemed very surreal to see such a great movie to have been rated down so badly.The negative criticisms this movie received eg. its a copy of idea from terminator were completely idiotic criticisms from people watching the movie with attention disorder I suppose, as this movie was in no way like terminator, sure terminator was based on super computers taking over 'human control' but this movie doesn't entirely represent the same view point,it focuses over very intelligent prospects in the most simplistic ways which is a greatly applauding work of art and a different variety available in today's 'fictional town'.
Overall this movie is definitely worth a watch and I am willing to pay again to watch this movie because it doesn't bore you out with same fighting and killing cheesy story line in today's sci-fi genre and has manifested a good story intelligently.
Family Weekend (2013)
Worth the wait
This movie is something you had wish you could or would have done with your family if you had/have the opportunity to. This movie is a light comedy which can be pictured as both sensible and irrational at the same time.There were some parts that seemed a bit off like the kid acting like a prostitute but oh well this movie had a very simplistic and pure hearted concept.In this day and age such type of comedies are hard to come by.In my opinion this movie deserves better than a 4.6/10 I had say 7.5 would be a correct rating instead especially when movies like the Incredible Burt Wonderstone which are such big disappointing scripts get 6/10 this movie deserves a better rating.The acting was integrated quite good.
